Gemstone

Story

Art Nouveau design manifests itself in a 14k yellow gold pendant. Nature was the dominant motif used throughout Art Nouveau whether veiled in themes of a femme fatale or in a complex range of symbols.

Here we have a treasure of a pendant with textured yellow gold crafted with right angled curves akin to the work of Scottish jewelers such as Knox. A trio of briolette* citrine dangles harkening back to 18th century classicism is balanced by the centering of a half natural freshwater pearl. Please note the unique form as bale. The pendant is accompanied by a modern 14k yellow gold chain.
